Establish process for selling abandoned or derelict aircraft
This bill establishes a formal process for public-use airports in Ohio to sell aircraft that have been abandoned on their premises. An aircraft is considered abandoned if it has remained on the airport for at least ninety consecutive days without the owner paying any associated fees. The legislation outlines specific steps for airports to identify owners, notify them of accrued costs, and eventually sell the aircraft if those costs are not paid within thirty days. Additionally, the bill clarifies the rights of service providers to place liens on aircraft for unpaid labor, storage, or materials, while ensuring these liens do not hinder the sale of truly abandoned planes.
